How nice of Livejournal to track that for me. As though I didn’t have enough guilt that I don’t blog or anything, now it’s telling me it’s been 16 weeks? Ye gods!

I’ve joined twitter. I don’t know why, but I update it more often than here, but I still don’t get the point. Anyway, it’s here: twitter.com/ziggiethegreat . I wonder if livejournal will turn that into a link for me? Guess I’ll find out. EDIT: Turns out it didn’t. Here’s a hyperlinked one: Twitter!

I had a strange dream last night (note that last night I watched Ferris Bueller, ate potato chips, and had copious amounts of alcohol, so it may have contributed). I dreamt that I was in high school and my mom decided to embarrass my teacher. No big deal, but the next day when I went into class (moving terribly slow, couldn’t help it, I was in bed) the teacher decided to humiliate me. So he made fun of me, berated me, and even made me take my shirt off (though I don’t remember doing it). Then I got called to the principals office. I didn’t leave fast enough for this teacher, so he put a hand on me. To this point I hadn’t said a word, but when he touched me I screamed “Rape!!!” and sat up in bed. (it was all very sudden). I don’t understand the meaning of this dream, but it’s a dream at any rate.

I’m in the market for a new laptop. My wife dropped the last one she had and now the keyboard doesn’t work (and she shattered the PCMCIa slot so no wireless either). I’m hovering between buying something nice that will last a while (technology wise) or buying cheap and making it an internet kiosk. My wife wants pricey, my checkbook wants cheap. Le sigh.

It’s to the point where I can hardly afford to drive to work every day. But if I don’t go to work I can’t afford…well, anything. That’s a problem.

I almost got a new job, but then there was a hiring freeze. I was getting excited about it too.
